In reply to GIRTHQUAKE :
It's not so much the Opel parts that I would be worried about - a lot of them are standard GM stuff like the transmission and very robust. The custom parts they're bolted to, however...
Color and view dependent, but I dont hate these. They were pretty bad-ass car in the day and a 2jz might wake it up.
I remember these from C&D back in the 80's. Cool car but agree parts would be difficult. This one look pretty solid.
I've been a fan of the clean styling on the Ferrari 400 after seeing one in person, so this has appeal.
A friend bought one. Then two more. One got parted, one is raced in Lemons, one got sold. He's been importing Opel parts from Europe and Commodore parts from Australia. They are very much a hand-built car in a lot of ways, but there's a surprisingly robust owner's club that is remanufacturing some of the Bitter-specific parts.
One shows up pretty regularly to a Detroit area Saturday AM cars and coffee event I frequent. Neat car.
A nutty collector friend who likes weird cars has two of them, both swapped to American V8s (on SBC, one SBF). Predictably, they overheat. He really likes them, though. Build quality seems really high.
In reply to ddavidv :
They're supposed to be very high quality cars, which they'd better be as they weren't exactly cheap when new. Plus they had to get German TUEV certifications so they would be road legal there (Bitter is/was a German company).
